Claire Danes is reuniting with Homeland co-creator and showrunner Howard Gordon for the Netflix limited series The Beast in Me. Described as a mystery thriller, the limited series was created by Gabe Rotter (The X-Files) and has Gordon attached as showrunner and executive producer.
“Since the tragic death of her young son, acclaimed author Aggie Wiggs has receded from public life, unable to write, a ghost of her former self. But she finds an unlikely subject for a new book when the house next door is bought by Nile Sheldon, a famed and formidable real estate mogul who was once the prime suspect in his wife’s disappearance,” reads the Netflix synopsis. “At once horrified and fascinated by this man, Aggie finds herself compulsively hunting for the truth – chasing his demons while fleeing her own – in a game of cat and mouse that might turn deadly.”
Danes will star as Aggie and serve as an executive producer. Additional executive producers will include Daniel Pearle (American Crime Story), Conan O’Brien, Jeff Ross, David Kissinger, and Jodie Foster. Series creator Rotter is writing and executive producing.
Three-time Emmy winner Claire Danes (Homeland, Temple Grandin) recently starred in the limited series Full Circle with Zazie Beetz, Jim Gaffigan, CCH Pounder, and Timothy Olyphant. Additional recent credits include Fleishman Is In Trouble and The Essex Serpent.
